He said he used 10% of company time, nobody can prove he did that though, so he might claim he didn’t use company time at all

Not IP fraud if he did it on his own time.

How would they even know OP is selling the tool, OP can easily disguise himself behind a shell company and a sales guy. This post is so stupid, I cannot believe people are this naive.

Tbh reading your comments, you sound so absurdly naive you should just not try to commercialize this. You mention you spent 90% of your time developing this on your own time and 10% on company time. You say you are thinking of using this tool in your own work — you might “NEED” to use this on your work. This is just beyond me.

Either don’t tell them at all, don’t use this tool at work and stop being so naive, or just give up on this invention. Seriously, this is your invention, why would you use this at work, implicating yourself with a possible conflict of interest, even mention the invention at all.

Don’t involve the company what so ever

What if they copy the western patents and register them themselves ??

What is a cyber security platform?

That is so cool, i would never have thought

What did you launch

Industry?

Don’t go into business then.

Just based on the fact that you said you’d like to make money with business PASSIVELY (with all caps), I would strongly suggest not going into business ever.

Is the google ads search tool ads or youtube ads, or what?
